Summary
Reports
There have been several changes to the improve the appearance and workflow of the report creation and running.
Creating Reports
The entire report creation process; selecting the report type, setting the parameters and receiving the results, all happens in a pop-up dialogue over the reports list rather than on separate web pages.
Report Type Selection
The type selection list is now sortable and searchable. In addition a new column ‘Category’ has been added to group together related reports.
Click on the column header to sort by name or category as desired.
Just start typing in the search field to filter the list by the text in the Report Type name or description.
You can select a category from drop down field to filter the list to only show reports for the selected category.
Selecting a single report type on the reports list before click “Create New Report” will automatically select that report type for creation.
Return to Select Type List from Create Report
The button now returns you to the report type select list rather than the reports list.
Site Selection Field
The Site select field has been removed from the following reports: Alarm Raise Times, Aspect On Approach, NR/SIN/137, Raw Analogue Events, Raw Digital Events and Sequence Timing.
The reports for Raw Digital Events, Sequence Timing and NR/SIN/137 do not support loading data from multiple sites so the report will now display an error if channels from more than one site are selected.
The other reports list above support loading data from multiple sites.
Sequence Parameter Field
The event sequence on Sequence Timing and NR/SIN/137 reports has been updated and is now more intuitive and easier to use than before.
Raw Digital Events Report
Each event type is selected individually and the labels have been updated to match how digital transitions and states appear elsewhere in Centrix.
Run Report Dialog
When a report is run the user will be presented with a dialog confirming that the requested report is being run.
The dialog will automatically switch to the report ready dialog (see below) when the report is ready. If the report is long running the user has the option to close the dialog and return to the reports list or navigate to the report type select list.
The report ready dialog offers the user options to download the report in available formats, view in Centrix, re-run*, navigate to the select report type list or close and return to the reports list.
*re-reun navigates to the report create window with the parameters pre-populated. The user is able to change any of the parameters before running the new report.
Minor amendments and fixed issues
We have improved the feedback when users request data that requires too long to retrieve.
Reduced potential errors when creating alarms via the manual track or points wizards.
